When fixing the brackets to the roof rack, place the bracket on the roof
rack with the flanges facing to the outside. Fix in place with the 8mm
bolts, keep it loose as you will need to adjust when putting it on the top
of the vehicle.

in place using the bolts provided.

3: Fitting the Brackets (on the Vehicle)
First remove the pre-existing bolts along the channel on the top of the
vehicle. Place the brackets along at the given points with the upright
part of the brackets facing the outside of the vehicle as seen below. You
can re-use the rubber washer, however new ones are provided.
Remove the existing bolt and replace with the new fittings from the kit
with the upright part of the bracket facing out, you must use the rubber
seal as this will prevent water getting in the vehicle.

General Care & Maintenance
!IMPORTANT!
We strongly advise you check the car at several intervals after the initial fitting to ensure safety. After 7 days, check and
tighten any bolts and we recommend inspecting the bolts, brackets at least once every 6 months.
Cleaning Information
You can use most cleaning products on this roof rack. However, we strongly advise against using petrol based solutions or
corrosive cleaning solutions which include TFR (Traffic Film Remover) or similar chemicals (brake strippers etc.) These will
tarnish and possibly even corrode the metal.
